Although the FDA does not require supplement manufacturers to obtain approval before marketing and distributing its products, top manufacturers ensure their products are safe, that no false or misleading claims are made and that products comply with the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act regulations.  Their goal is to produce highly absorbable nutrients that the body has the greatest chance of using to promote optimal health.
Manufacturers that are producing high end, pharmaceutical grade products adhere to strict quality controls, source premium raw materials and require their suppliers to meet rigorous testing by independent labs.

The quality of dietary supplements can be measured by:

• Authenticity: The ingredients listed on the label must match the ingredients in the product.
• Potency: The product will contain the labeled level of every key active ingredient throughout its shelf-life.    
• Purity: The product does not contain unlisted additives, contaminants or fillers.
